Mobile Broadband in Windows 8 Simplified by Ericsson and Microsoft
(firmenpresse) - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/11 --
* New protocol led by Ericsson with Microsoft simplifies adoption of
mobile
broadband for notebooks and tablets on Windows 8
* Consumer expectations of always-on connectivity more easily met
* New generation of mobile broadband modules from Ericsson support this
protocol in Windows 8
A protocol proposed by Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) makes it easier for
manufacturers
to bring mobile broadband to people buying notebooks and tablets. The
collaborative development of the protocol is an industry effort within USB
Implementers Forum.
Device manufacturers who implement the protocol will no longer need to
install
drivers for embedded mobile broadband connectivity or a connection manager
-
support for the protocol will be included in Windows 8. The new generation
of
mobile broadband modules from Ericsson supports this protocol, which is
being
demonstrated this week at the Microsoft BUILD conference in the United
States.
Mats Norin, head of Ericsson Mobile Broadband Modules, says: "This open
communication protocol helps to save both time and cost for notebook and
tablet
makers. This is true also for the end user, enabling constant connectivity
and
simpler updates rather than separate downloads from manufacturer web
sites."
Ericsson also worked with silicon partners like AMD, Intel,, NVIDIA and
Texas
Instruments. The result is that Ericsson's mobile broadband modules
supporting
the protocol help make the adoption of mobile broadband for the Windows 8-
based
PC ecosystem smooth.
Norin continues: "As consumers are buying notebooks, netbooks, tablets and
other
consumer electronics, their expectations on connectivity go up. Ericsson
believes in embedded connectivity to help consumers get what they want
faster
and in the simplest possible way."
The protocol will be demonstrated in reference devices at the Microsoft
BUILD
conference taking place in Anaheim, California September 13-16.
The new feature will be available on all Ericsson modules starting with the
F5321gw, H5321gw and C5621gw and beyond after the final release of Windows
8.
